Rental homes in Wippolder, Delft

What does a rental property cost in Wippolder?

Wippolder is a true rental neighbourhood: no less than 78% of the more than 7,200 homes are rental properties. Almost half of these (49%) are owned by housing associations, and another 29% are rented out by other landlords. This makes the supply of rental properties in Wippolder relatively large compared to many other Delft neighbourhoods, although competition among home seekers is fierce. In the free sector, the average rent over the past year was €1,720 per month, with a range of €640 to €3,150. The average size of those homes was 113 m². That is substantial, but bear in mind that the WOZ value in Wippolder (€279,000) is below the Delft average of €322,000. Renting in Wippolder is therefore relatively affordable for Delft, especially considering the space you get.

Students, families and everything in between: this is what Wippolder feels like

Wippolder scores a 7.7 out of 10 based on resident reviews on the Wippolder neighbourhood page. The score for safety (8.4) is notably high, although residents themselves qualify this. One resident writes: "It is not the safest. 2 murders. But otherwise hygienic, nice people and beautiful places to exercise." Another describes the neighbourhood as "perfect location for a student" and emphasises the tranquillity: "It is quiet, no bikes stolen, and a very nice location and good rent." This contrast between figures and experience makes Wippolder typical: it is a neighbourhood with many faces.

The Zeeheldenbuurt is a good example of this. A resident who has lived there for four years says: "When you cycle from the centre or the station, you go from busy and chaotic to very quiet." That transition is characteristic. Towards the TU Delft campus, it becomes different again. In TU-Noord and around the TU-Campus, many students live, giving the neighbourhood a young and international character. The largest age group in Wippolder is 25 to 45 years, but the group aged 15 to 25, with over 4,100 residents, is almost as large. You notice this in the atmosphere: lively, but rarely noisy.

In terms of amenities, Wippolder is not a shopping paradise. Residents mention that there is "only one neighbourhood supermarket", although there are "some nice shops". Accessibility scores an 8.0, and that is accurate: Delft station is within cycling distance and the Rotterdamseweg offers a direct route to Rotterdam. By car, it can be confusing, especially for visitors following their satnav through the narrow streets. The municipality of Delft is investing in the accessibility and liveability of this part of the city, including through traffic plans that can be found on the municipality's website. The neighbourhoods Professorenbuurt and Wippolder-Zuid offer a slightly greener, quieter living environment, while the Koningsveldbuurt is closer to the city centre.
